Just got the black and white OEM LG n5 hardshell cases from here: IT EXISTS: LG Hardshell In Depth Case Review(s) – So close yet so far!! - xda-developers
White one kind of sucks and feels like the cheap white plastic back of the n5.
The black one is great and feels EXACTLY like the actual n5 back. The fitting is ridiculous and feels like you're using the phone naked. No front lip either so dust that accumulates on the screen can be easily wiped away.
Only bad things are the price (it's OEM so that's a given), it feels really thin/flimsy, and it won't protect worth shit if it's dropped or placed face down. But if you're quite careful with your phone, want simple bumper/scratch protection from placing on a table, and are looking for an ultra-minimalistic case, then this case is perfect.

Anyone know of a local store that fixes n5 screens? I dropped mine a month ago and the screen is kind of shattered. It's still usable but the cracks are annoying me.

When I took my Nexus 4 to have it fix (crack screen) it was about $240) so I just got a new phone instead.

If that was your third device I'd understand.

I tried switching those to all the modes, 3g, LTE, 2g......
the weird thing is, the phone worked perfectly fine these last 2 or so weeks I had it, and it was actually in LTE mode the whole time...
But it's always done what my Nexus 4 never did, above the signal bars it's constantly switching from 3G to H, back and forth back and forth....
i dont get how it can suddenly just stop working, nothing changed or happened, didnt update the phone or nothin like that.... yesterday i was driving and all the sudden when I tried to dial just blacks out and says MOBILE NETWORK NOT AVAILABLE
anyway im gonna go stop by Wind store today see what they say, I dont think it's a simple solution I thought you guys might have a quick answer to

Call the cops though. Hopefully the seller was stupid enough to use their real phone number, contact info. Posted via RS Mobile | |

for fucks sake.... it was all packaged and sealed too... little 5'10, 100 pound faggot with that manga style blonde frosted hair, punk rocker outfit... asian kid...... fuuuuuck
from Googling it I found out that its only blocked in North America on their carriers... so the phone should work outside of Canada and US... my brother spends a lot of time in South America, maybe I just give him the phone and he sells it down there... they go for at least double the price down there actually, I remember when he first got a place there, he had a few iphones with him that he sold for like $1500 each
Can someone confirm this to be the case ? I mean the phones only being blacklisted IMEI's in Canada and US.... because I'm googling but it's a lot of reading threads with internet trolling back and forth, tough to tell whats true whats a lie..
